Our founding fathers understood the importance of education. The Northwest Ordinance encouraged education:  “Religion, morality, and knowledge, being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged.”

America’s enemies understand the importance of education.  The Communists, the Marxists and the Islamists all seek to control the minds of our children.  The Fabian Socialists determined that it was much easier to indoctrinate a child in socialism, than to force it upon a well-educated, liberty-loving population.

The future of our nation, and perhaps liberty itself, is trapped in failing schools.  This is not about increased funding, smaller class sizes or better standards.  Social engineers are diligently working to destroy the intellect of the children of America, indoctrinating them to blindly accept their role as compliant cogs in the planned global socialist utopia.

Here we begin a series of articles that will look at what has been called by Charlotte Iserbyt: the Deliberate Dumbing Down of America.  This series will address the war which is being waged against our nation, using our children who are being held captive in schools that have replaced the teaching of facts with operant conditioning and thought with indoctrination.  This is a war against our children; a war against our values.  This is a war we must not lose.
